It makes eminent business sense to have a team in Quebec City, especially considering Canada's economy is likely to be better than that of the U.S. for at least the next few years.
I'm all for Seattle getting a team, but QC right now makes a LOT of sense economically for the league.

You are both right. Both cities getting a team very soon is whats best.
